Euro Gold Refinery has been recognised among Uganda’s leading enterprises after receiving the Platinum Award for Best Natural Resources and Extractives Company in Uganda at the 2026 Business Excellence Awards.
The prestigious ceremony was held on 14 August 2026 at Sheraton Kampala Hotel under the theme “Celebrating Excellence, Inspiring Innovation.” The event brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, government representatives and organisations making a significant contribution to Uganda’s economic development.
The recognition represents an important milestone for Euro Gold Refinery and reflects the company’s continued commitment to responsible mineral processing, transparency, value addition and business excellence.
Recognition Built on Excellence
The Business Excellence Awards recognise organisations demonstrating outstanding performance across key areas including quality, service, value, integrity and innovation.
For Euro Gold Refinery, receiving the Platinum Award reinforces the importance of building a minerals and refining industry based on strong standards, responsible practices and long-term economic value.
The company continues to position itself as an important participant in Uganda’s evolving mineral value chain, supporting the broader movement towards processing mineral resources locally and creating greater value within the country.
Supporting Uganda’s Value-Addition Agenda
During the awards ceremony, State Minister for Industry David Bahati emphasised the importance of innovation, technology and value addition in driving Uganda’s industrial transformation.
Increasing domestic processing enables Uganda to capture more value from its natural resources while supporting employment, skills development, investment and access to regional and international markets.
These priorities closely align with Euro Gold Refinery’s commitment to strengthening Uganda’s mineral processing capacity and promoting responsible participation within the extractives industry.
A Milestone for the Euro Gold Refinery Team
The Platinum Award is a recognition of the collective efforts of the Euro Gold Refinery team, partners and stakeholders who continue to contribute towards the company’s growth.
As Uganda continues expanding its industrial and mineral processing capabilities, Euro Gold Refinery remains committed to transparency, responsible business practices, innovation and sustainable value creation.
The company looks forward to building on this achievement and contributing further to the development of Uganda’s natural resources and extractives sector.
